About the Show
The Witch Movie Project pairs Ride The Wave Media CEO Just Blane's love of horror with Courtney Pearl's real-world background in paganism and witchcraft. Each episode reviews two films built around witches or folk horror — from cult classics like The Craft and Practical Magic to genre touchstones like Suspiria and The Wicker Man — separating the Hollywood myth from the actual practice.
Part of the Ride The Wave Media network.
